free_man Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 2-8" left, generally. Some of the patches from 12/27? will be showing soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NECT Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Nothing left but a few patches. Amazing how 18" can disappear about as fast as 22" did about a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Just SW of the city can be ok...Milton...but if you can hack it, go just WNW of the city Even around here there are huge difference....downtown ORH has patches of grass showing in all the torch spots. My neighborhood is still covered in deep snow...obviously form the pics. I think Deer Island holds onto snow better than here, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I think Deer Island holds onto snow better than here, lol. The UHI is really obvious when on the train in...even inside of 128 about 5-7 miles west still had some solid snow cover in a lot fo sheltered spots...like 50% cover...then it just ramps down to almost zero really fast. Those wooded areas of Wellesley were holding onto it pretty good on the ride back and they are like right on 128. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighborhood is still covered in deep snow...obviously form the pics. I agree. Generally west of a line from Braintree to Weymouth to Abington to the Bridgewaters can hold on OK and do OK for snow but really its rearranging deck chairs until you get North and West and start to climb. Every area has its little weenie nuances. I grew up in Randolph, still spend quite a bit of time here and there is usually a noticable difference even between here and Braintree/Weymouth. We are more like Stoughton/Canton/Easton/Sharon. Its usually a different world compared to the city of Boston when it comes to pack retention and we often cash in on south of the pike specials getting wayy more than BOS. I'm not here consistently enough to measure all winter but Id guess we are running at least 15"-20" more than BOS on the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Nice, we are in the deform zone of the rainstorm. Congrats! Haha can't get a synoptic snowstorm but can hit the developing deform zone of a rainstorm. One of those seasons I guess lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily this winter....in the last event alone, they beat BOS by like 10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't radiate for crap here and it's nothing like a concrete jungle. Just enough urbanization I guess. I can't go NW of BOS but maybe Dedham or something.

Don't get me started on some of those areas...as good as north Worcester holds onto snow pack, I can be melted out for two weeks and still find nearly 100% cover in spots to my north not even 15 minutes drive.

I don't know how we migrated to this, but it started out about how rt 2 can be a traffic disaster....next thing we know...we're ripping out google terrain and looking at the two weenie ridge lines in Fitchburg lol. My friend misses his place at ORH. He still owns it and rents it out...maybe I'll buy it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 weatherbug has boston at 53 with rain and a dewpoint of 51. I'm prayin HARD for cold weather and a blizzard for you guys. Keep the faith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are just torching with high dews. Jeez. I had 0" of snow pack on Saturday so I'm just getting enjoying more and more mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 11" here as the melting slows down considerably. Prob will lose another inch or so tomorrow. But all in all, managed to survive the onslaught with respectable snow pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 11" here as the melting slows down considerably. Prob will lose another inch or so tomorrow. But all in all, managed to survive the onslaught with respectable snow pack. I still have a few inches still--I'm shocked. Granted I didn't get as warm as you folks out east. But, I still had to contend with 1.09" of rain. And, I had a pathetic starting point of only 10" or so. 31.5/28. With forecasted temps in the low 40's, the disaster will continue. Low dews are going to mean a whole lot less with clear sky and essentially an equinox sun angle. That'll easily outweigh any mitigation a lower dp might bring to the table.

Damage In Tolland Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Somehow I managed to keep 4 inches or so. There's about 98% cover..with just a touch grass showing in a few sun torched spots. It's also gotten down to 31 so the pack has re frozen. I ran down to areas around 650 feet today and down there the snow is less and much more patchy..like a quilt that MPM would wrap up in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MainePhotog Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 0.61" of rain total. One small patch of snow left in the back yard, which faces east. Front yard still has full cover with range of 2" - 7" of snow cover and one massive car high pile of snow from plowing the drive. High ridge across the road from our house blocks the afternoon sun. South facing side yard bare. North facing side yard almost full snow cover. Maybe we replenish the pack next week. From NWS Gray: WITH A SOLID FEED OF MOISTURE UP THE EASTCOAST THERE COULD BE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF QPF WITH THIS SYSTEM.IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ALL OR PART OF THE FORECAST AREA COULD SEEMODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS IF THE COASTAL LOW DOESDEVELOP AND TRACK SOUTH OF THE AREA AS CURRENTLY PROJECTED.

tamarack Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 0.73" RA, still 12" snow/glacier at the stake, might lose another inch today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Mostly grass here with 20% snowcover and a bit of Nemo ice. Patchy snowcover in my community ranging from very little to nearly 100%. It's nice to see grass again, hopefully it's here to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
